Waiting for these guys to have a moment of realization is a sucker's game. Like I don't know what to tell you man, guys like Chris Rufo come out and admit they lie and make shit up to get people mad just to smash stuff, the tariffs could crash the economy and they're never gonna go "oh no!" about it - ThreadSky

will be funny to see what excuses the maga people come up with when the tariffs don't do any of the crazy things they think they'll do, I guess

The guy massively enriched itself at the direct expense of his most loyal followers Day -1 with a crypto rugpull and it didn't matter. The most correct thing he's ever said is that thing where he could shoot someone and people would still support him.

Also, here's the thing: Trump's entire life has been spouting a bunch of shit, rarely ever following through in a successful way, but getting treated like a success anyway. Even if somehow at the 11th hour none of these tariffs go through, he'll still get to claim victory. It's win/win for him

"The cruelty is the point" is an oversimplification because the people doing this do have aims and goals, but by and large the people in stands cheering this on are in it for blood, they don't care whose, every bad outcome will just be spun as another reason for them to demand even more blood

They know it'll screw them over, but it'll screw us over too and to them that's what really matters. They don't want victory, they just want the people they hate to lose too.

The cult of human sacrifice will sacrifice any human, including from the cult itself, in order to sacrifice more humans. "Sacrificing the enemy" is just a neat bonus to not kill the flock too fast but all of them are too lost in it to care that they will die.

Expecting people who've based everything about their life on a shared fascistic hallucination to suddenly realize they've been lying to themselves as much as their leaders have is simply waiting for more complex and contrived hallucinations to develop.

Forget these guys, I know a forum that's just full of centrists coping that democrats losing totally isn't because Biden supported a fucking genocide.

Actual fucking fossils right there

What's gonna happen is the economy will crash, Trump will say, "The economy is great, you're suffering because of Muslims" and then they'll start murdering people

Actually the boogeyman now is DEI, which is great because it wraps all the ideological enemies (minorities, queer people, women) into a nice, neat package

Yeah...

Semi related but talking to a friend about the GCs over in Great Britain and I said, "They could be standing in the chamber with us. And they'd still insist it was our fault." Same brain melt different worms

A lot of people are still trying to treat this like we're dealing with, I dunno, just a particularly disgusting flavor of otherwise rational self-interest when I feel like the last 15-20 years should have made it clear we're in the Trigger The Libs era and that end justifies any number of means

sephmoonstone.bsky.social•30 days ago

My thought is that people want to believe that people are good, and that's why they resist understanding that yes hurting others really is the whole point. But well you just used the counter, it has been 20ish years at least.
